Friendship is Dragons

Page 30 - Party Pandemonium

DM: It appears as though the entire town of Ponyville has gathered in the library. And at the center of the commotion is a bright pink pony you recognize.
Pinkie Pie: Meeeee! It’s me!
Twilight Sparkle: What the heck is all this?!
Pinkie Pie: It’s a surprise welcome party, silly! Were you surprised?
Twilight Sparkle: Well, yes, but… Why…? Ugh, I need a drink!
DM: In-character or out-of-character?
Twilight Sparkle: BOTH!
Pinkie Pie: I saw you on the street and realized I didn’t know you, even though I know everyone in Ponyville! So I HAD to throw a welcome party for you and invite everyone in town!
Pinkie Pie: It’s all part of my special talent! Everypony knows I’m super-duper awesome at throwing parties, which means I’m super good at Streetwise and Diplomacy as long as I’m in Ponyville!
Rainbow Dash: Your special talent is THROWING PARTIES??
Pinkie Pie: Abso-butely-lutely!
Rarity: <sigh> I’ll get to the bottom of this. Hand me that character sheet, would you?
Rarity: Pinkie Pie... Earth-Pony… Unaligned Bard. I see.
Applejack: Am I sensin’ some enmity in yer tone?
Rarity: Forgive me, it’s just… a disturbing pattern I’ve come to recognize. “Oh look, the wandering minstrel. Let’s make a totally strange character out of it. No one has ever done THAT before.” Simply put, the bard class is a player’s license to go completely crazy.
Pinkie Pie: Don’t worry, my bard is COMPLETELY different! For one thing, she’s totally not a performer at all… though she can perform if she wants to. Pinkie Pie’s more about dealing with party guests, streamers, food, drinks, and all that fun stuff!
Pinkie Pie: Although being a pony kinda complicates the drinks. The normal stuff isn’t going to do much if nopony can get drunk!
DM: I’m pretty sure that’s not…
Pinkie Pie: So what else would there be…? Juice? Punch? Hot sauce? Ooh, yeah, hot sauce! I’d totally put hot sauce on the table!
Twilight Sparkle: Wait. WHAT is my character drinking?!
SFX: (FWOOSH)
SFX: (ZOOM!)
